Big Coins

 * 1) Head through the vines at the center of the first floor of the villa and open the north door. The Big Coin is above you. To get it, lower the purple bars, then go through them and climb the steps. Open the door, then head north to the next door. From here, you can jump down to the Big Coin. (thing 1594)
 * 2) Inside the library at the first floor, make sure the purple bars are down, then head to the table at the north end. Look up to the east to find a switch. Press it, which will lower a bookshelf in the southwest corner of the library. Quickly run west when you regain control, then south, jumping over the bookshelf here, then into the area beyond the bookshelf before it rises (you have approximately three seconds). Enter the door to find an easter egg area, where the last room has a Big Coin. (thing 1294)
 * 3) In the halls past the snake floor, head to the northeast corner and enter the poisonous water to find a Big Coin underneath the block in the northeast corner. (thing 514)

Golden Spiders

 * 1) Enter the villa and head up the steps. At the door, head to the left edge and a Golden Spider is below you. (thing 11)
 * 2) Enter the villa and head west, taking the door there. Take the next door and in this area, look at the bridge to the north. A Golden Spider is in the inner corner on the bridge. It may be easier to get on the bridge itself to get this Golden Spider easier. (thing 259)

 * 10) To the left of the normal exit building is the last Golden Spider. (thing 3120)

Secret exit: Unlocking this secret exit requires having previously obtained the red skull key. Once you have it, in the northeastern section of the map, in the room that has the metallic airvents, you will notice a red skull switch. Pressing it unlocks a series of stairs in the room behind the switch itself. Once you make your way over there and climb the newly formed steps, the path will lead you to the rooftop of the villa itself, where the secret switch is found, unlocking a path to MAP45: Ghostly Woods.
